2Chainz says that being a successful rapper is dangerous

[WakandanPride]

Rappers like Tyler the Creator or Childish Gambino never have these problems.

It's all about the music you put out and the image you give off. You act like a street nikka then real street nikkas gonna test you.

I just wished we valued each other more, but mainstream hip-hop provides nothing of the sort. These rappers need to change the narrative instead of parroting the same shyt.

The real fukking question, what about music makes it so much personal than watching a movie or tv

Perhaps it's the fact that many artists from a specific genre go to extreme lengths to remind the audience that it's real and not just entertainment, many of the rappers even claim they're "not one of these rappers".

At some point we're going to have to reach the conclusion that mainstream hip hop is NOT entertainment. The rappers literally tell us this.

The rappers I listen to are GODS and GOONS. They teach you how to move in life. Roc Marciano, Tha God Fahim. MADLIB. Mach Hommy. Freddie Gibbs. Willie the Kid

They out here sipping wine and enjoying the sunset. They don't have these problems.

Just a couple years ago Freddie Gibbs wasn’t sipping wine that nikka was in some shyt too in France but luckily he got out that situation

 

[Pazzy]

Shut up fakkit

Okay. BLOCKED.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

I mod the locker room


The site was built off sports first and foremost

The site came into existence because of Sohh.. Support Online Hip Hop
90% of tlr posters don't watch sports

Gtfoh

Honestly it's just immaturity is celebrated in Hiphop and the ones who can't break the cycle of immaturity are the ones doomed to death. I hate to say it but the ones stunting and still in the streets when they shouldn't are the ones in danger. Then add in the Internet and social media and its rappers getting back the energy they put out,. I mean if this happened in the 90s whole lotta groups we worship now would've got clapped up

What you're describing is a solution to solve for on the job hazards. Rappers aren't out here (in most cases) getting murdered while on the job.

I’ve heard countless stories of rappers being run up on while in the studio or after a show. Getting their tour bus pulled over or shot at. I’m certain these rappers would tell you they were just doing their job

 

[Illuminatos]

Yeah let’s keep playing dumb and pretending like we don’t know why this happens to certain rappers. nikkas will rap about nothing but shooting and robbing nikkas but get shocked when that happens to them?

 

[intruder]

Hiphop lost its luster over a decade ago. The youngins are trying hard to keep it going but people are tired of the negative energy it brings. It needs new energy badly.

 

[3rdWorld]

I hate all these new age rappers peddling ignorance to the youth, I dont care anymore what happens to them.

 

[TheDream]

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Violence has existed before hip-hop and it will after hip-hop. Where's the conversation about the systemic elements? They're not listening to drill in Rio De Janiero, Tijuana or Caracas and those places are more violent than any U.S. hood.

I will say, in it's current incarnation... rap music is no longer "black" culture. It's a commodity for all and a sub-culture - I don't support rap music or rappers anymore than I would actors or an action movie. Most rappers are just well-paid prostitutes for the [non-black] labels... no meaningful black message, just degeneracy. If it DOES go by the wayside, I do feel it's ran its course.

It's the streets, cats get jealous too easily - you already shytting on em with your success, the shining and flossing just takes it over the top.

Bob marley would leave his BMW unlocked, doors open in the hood and nobody would touch it

he told the interviewer that if they take it so what, whatever was his was theirs too

true, bob was a champion of impoverished people, though... he helped A LOT of people in trenchtown. his ideals in his music also are like the complete antithesis of the modern rapper

these cornball rappers will promote fukkery then disparage black people... that's why no one respects them really outside of being entertaining caricatures... and they stay getting robbed and shot at

Huge facts, dap+rep

2chainz isn't a negative dude.

But his name is 2Chainz, so that automatically equates money and if nikkas see you in public they gonna know you got something

Plus he's like 6'7, so to cops he's a threat which = arrest. To regular nikkas he stands out too much so he can't blend in
